Jackpot

On the back of the hangover to avoid not leaving the room all day i thought i would visit a casino or 2 near my hotel. Despite staying here 3 times ive never been to any of Sahara, Stratosphere or Circus Circus. Main objective though was to stuff my face to get rid of my hangova. As i left the hotel i decided against the first 2 and headed for Circus Circus instead. Decided on chilli con carne and could hardly move without even finishing the plate in front of me !

Anyway decided to have a few goes on slots before heading back. Started on video poker and lost $100 before going onto an Ebay slot machine and winning the $100 back. Was heading towards the exit when a Monopoly machine caught my eye so i sat down there. Playing 9 lines @ 5 credits per line x 5 cents i was spinning $2.25 a spin when it rolled it the jackpot for 50,000 credits = $2,500 !!! At first i didnt see the wild symbol on the 5th reel but within seconds realised i had finally got the top payout on a vegas slot machine. Could go a whole lifetime without that. I walk past people playing machines all the time and i have never seen someone win a jackpot in my time over here before !!!
